The Prosecutor's Office demands the return of the specially protected natural area under the illegal possession of former Minister of Nature Aram Harutyunyan to the Republic of Armenia. The state interest claim has been accepted for proceedings by the court.
The Anti-Corruption Court has accepted for proceedings the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office against the Dilijan community, Arthur Arshakyan, and former Minister of Nature Aram Harutyunyan regarding the invalidation of the auction held on October 12, 2012, for the land plot of 0.8 hectares located at 29/24 Maxim Gorky Street in Dilijan, the invalidation of the real estate sale agreement concluded between Arthur Arshakyan and Aram Harutyunyan on June 20, 2017, and the application of the consequences of invalidity, including the demand to return the 0.8-hectare land plot to the Dilijan community from Aram Harutyunyan's illegal possession.
At the same time, a measure for securing the claim has been applied, and the respondent Aram Harutyunyan has been prohibited from taking actions that would lead to a change in the actual or legal status of the land plot mentioned in the claim.
The Prosecutor General's Office, through an investigation conducted within the framework of its authority to file claims for the protection of state (community) interests, found that the 0.8-hectare land plot is classified as "environmental forest" land of "specially protected natural areas" included in the list of restrictions of Article 60 of the Land Code, which could not be alienated to individuals.
